A’s pick Cassevah in Rule V draft

The A’s took righty reliever Bobby Cassevah (stats) from the Angels in the Rule 5 draft this morning. He’s known as a sinkerball pitcher who doesn’t strike out many but gives up very few home runs and has a high ground ball to fly ball ratio. He’d have to make the big club out of spring training, which seems like a longshot, or be returned to the Angels.
